El tecnólogo espacial Robbie Schingler cofundó una empresa de satélites que toma imágenes de todo el planeta cada día, haciendo visibles los cambios en la Tierra. Muestra cómo combinar esos datos con la inteligencia artificial crea una "inteligencia planetaria" que podemos usar para detectar amenazas emergentes que quizá no habríamos visto de otro modo. Ahora se pregunta: ¿podemos cerrar la brecha entre ver que se acerca una crisis y detenerla realmente? (Con una nota final de las curadoras invitadas de TED, Divya Siddarth y Audrey Tang).

De qué manera los satélites y la IA pueden proteger el planeta

Pairing daily satellite images with artificial intelligence is creating a new kind of planetary intelligence, able to spot threats and changes as they unfold. When a pontoon bridge appeared overnight near Ukraine’s border, this technology gave the world instant evidence of looming conflict, but institutional response lagged behind. From cutting Amazon deforestation in half to providing drought insurance for herders in Africa, real-time Earth monitoring is closing the gap between awareness and action. The challenge now is to build trust and institutions ready to move as quickly as the data demands.

Satellites and AI Turn Global Crises Into Coordinated Action

Satellites now image the entire Earth daily, making it possible to witness changes like a sudden pontoon bridge appearing before Russia invaded Ukraine. When paired with AI, this constant stream of data becomes planetary intelligence, allowing for rapid detection of threats and environmental shifts. From slashing Amazon deforestation by half to protecting herders during droughts with real-time insurance payouts, these tools transform awareness into collective, real-world responses. The next challenge is building institutions that can move as swiftly as the technology itself.
